What’s the point of making us go to a building, then?
As far as my experience went, there isn’t much of a one. Thankfully the Finnish university I went to was also very flexible on letting you do most of the courses by just showing up for an exam and doing well on that, no need to attend classes if you don’t like them.
That’s only for postgrads, though, right?
Found it. It’s Cambridge (and he mentions that Oxford has a similar system), and it does seem to be specifically for undergraduates.
A lot of places will start letting you talk with a competent human once you go postgrad, but undergrad students going from high school math to university math are the ones who would probably most need that.
Yes, both Oxford and Cambridge use the tutorial system. Undergraduates get lectures, classes and tutorials (or supervisions in Cambridge), where the latter would be one lecturer/professor to one to three students.
